I really like this, and what you're doing with it

If I'm allowed to be slightly critical, I'd definitely be very tempted to get the front bumper resprayed to a better match.

Criticism welcome....

I noticed that in the pics also, Not sure why it appears that way but it's spot on in person.

Brought the trailer out of hibernation.

Few tiny bits to finish, Fake exhaust, Wiper Blank, Mudflaps and ill prob carpet the bulkhead.

Love this, been following for a while and think what you’ve done is great (been a member for a while but as i’d not posted for ages couldn’t remember my old email to recover it)

This popped up on my Instagram for the first time really, still enjoy seeing it around!

Really don’t see the appeal of this. All that money could have been saved for something better than an old diesel Ford Fiesta.

All those mods must have made your insurance eye watering.

It just doesn’t look good. Sorry.

I understand people don't 'Get It' and wonder why. (As I do half the time )
You are correct of course, Maybe I should finance a new Golf instead. Would that appeal more?


Or maybe I already have another car or 3 and the Fiesta is just done for a bit of fun because I can?

Really like this, given me a bit of envy! You've got the fastest colour as well

Also got an M140i, but really don't want to get rid of my ST! Taking it back home for my dad to enjoy for a couple of months, in the hope he buys it from me. A hugely discounted price may help!

I'm really glad you came into the thread to tell us that.

Oh and you missed "in my opinion" from your final sentence.

Fantastic, great car and thoroughly enjoyable thread.

It's nice to see something like this being owned long term and being given some attention in our throw away society. I think this is the best shape fiesta to date. Great work!

He forgot which car he happens to own as well. No doubt an LM F40 or similar which only costs 20p a year to insure..

Great looking little car OP. Keep updating the thread, there's plenty of us who prefer the real world car threads to to the hyper car porn that often distracts in here.

I agree.
Don't forget, the schools are off, so we can hope for better interactions in the coming weeks...


Anywaaaaaaay:
OP, I love it.
The trailer too!
I doff my cap, sir.

It is indeed. I intend to keep ours for as long I can (or my wife tolerates it).

Got lucky on eBay, Ford dealer had them listed as damaged stock. (Broken box)

They came on the 30th Anniversary/Celebration Fiestas.


Appreciate all the comments from everyone.

[eRabbit]

Just read from start to finish. Car and trailer look amazing with all the attention to detail you've put into them.

[journeymanpro]

This is a quality little project, great read.

Love the car OP...

I myself have just picked up an 05 Zetec-S 1.6 petrol, well looked after with only 62k miles, drives lovely and I'm chuffed with it.
